Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I expected this top-of-the-range model to equal the Philips HF3520/60 Wake-up Light Colored Sunrise Simulation, White, or even surpass it, but was very disappointed. While the controls were touch based and much easier to navigate than the HF3520, the color was lacking. It spent most time in the bright white/yellow range and less in the orange and far less in the red compared to the HF3520. The color faded to a 'smog' orange and rapidly through a smoky red turned grey-red and out. This was on the sunset simulation. Reverse it for the sunrise. The 'doughnut' design meant a lot of light was scattered or missing, resulting in an overall darker brightness when compared to the HF3520. I brought that model for $104 here on Amazon and now it is selling for $235 as of 12/07/2018, so I chose to spend the same on a newer model. I am returning it and found another HF3520 elsewhere online as it is very hard to get. Pros: The modern design and touch interface. It makes for a great nightlight or gentle reading lamp. Cons: The color simulations dissapointed me very much for the price point. Stick with the HF3520 for truer simulations.
